Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Keeping the Faith w/ Phil Iscove
Daniel & Harry are joined by Film and TV writer, producer and podcaster Phil Iscove of Podcast Like It’s to discuss Edward Norton’s 2000 directorial debut “Keeping the Faith,” starring Norton, Ben Stiller, and Jenna Elfman.
They marvel at the unabashed depiction of religion and Jewish practice from a major studio release, discuss the tension between modernity and tradition within religion, and make some unexpected picks for their respective “most Jewish scenes” in the movie.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
